A 'green collar' job is becoming a popular option for US professionals keen for a midlife career change, BusinessWeek reports.
It appears there are an abundance of opportunities in this area with an estimated 8.5 million jobs currently available in renewable energy and energy efficiency industries in the States.
A recent report suggests this figure is set to increase to as many as 40 million jobs in the sector by 2030; a trend that will no doubt be replicated in Australia.
As a result of this rapid growth commentators say there will be considerable demand for professionals with skills in the areas of construction, finance and marketing.
